Mayawati’s gimmics will no more work in UP: Congress (I)

Congress said that BSP chief Mayawati is trying to cover her misdeeds with her gimmicks like promises of reservation for minority community in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

She could have done many things as she was in power for five years in UP, said many of the Congress leaders. What was she doing in the last five years, they ask. Many leaders people including the Congress workers are having the opinion that Mayawati is trying to fool the minority community by raising this issue in the wake of Assembly elections just to garner their votes. Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi also had talked about this issue during his poll rallies. If somebody has done anything for the minorities, Muslims and backward classes, it is only Congress (I), he had said.

“It was Congress (I) which appointed Sachhar Committee to recommend measures of socio-economic development of Muslims.  The recommendations of the committee have been implemented in Congress (I) ruled states like Delhi and Maharashtra while Mayawati has not done this yet in Uttar Pradesh, said Congress (I) General Secretary adding that no such election lollipops would work in favor of the BSP now as people of the state are fed up with her non-governance and corruption.

MNREGA money paid to blacklisted NGO in UP: Congress (I)

Slamming UP chief minister for not providing benefits of central government sponsored social welfare schemes to the poor, Congress (I) has said Mayawati paid Rs 56.30 lakhs out of MNREGA funds to a blacklisted NGO.  She has all along been pretending to be working for the dalits welfare while she has done nothing for them, said Congress (I).  MNREGA scheme was to provide guaranteed employment to poor people in rural areas to alleviate their poverty.  But instead of helping the poor, ministers and officials of Mayawati government pocketed the money. Funds were used to purchase items like laptops, calendars, tents and toys for crèches.  Mayawati has ordered at last investigation against 42 government officers and 58 village pradhans who are also involved in a scam of Rs 500 crore. Thus while MNREGA scheme has benefited the poor in Congress (I) ruled states, Mayawati brought about its failure in UP.
